Control: tags -1 + pending
Hi Andreas, 2014-08-12 16:21 Andreas Tolfsen:
Package: aptitude Version: 0.6.11-1 Severity: minor Dumb terminals only support a limited number of control codes. In particular they do not have the ability to process ANSI escape sequences which are commonly used for a number of aptitude's commands to display progress of steps. As far as I can gather this is a matter of avoiding some of the conditionals in the switch statement in src/download_item.cc:77. The problematic cases are the “transient” states: StatIdle, StatFetching, and StatDone. This makes the output of the following command rather ugly: ~ % TERM=dumb aptitude update 0% [Working] Ign http://ppa.launchpad.net trusty InRelease 17% [Connecting to ftp.no.debian.org (2001:700:0:12e::f70)] [...] 94% [Working] [ 0%] Reading package lists [100%] Reading package lists The expected output should be what you see in an intelligent terminal: ~ % aptitude update Ign http://ppa.launchpad.net trusty InRelease Hit http://ppa.launchpad.net trusty Release.gpg Hit http://ppa.launchpad.net trusty Release Hit http://ppa.launchpad.net trusty/main Sources Hit http://ppa.launchpad.net trusty/main amd64 Packages Ign http://ppa.launchpad.net trusty/main Translation-en_US Ign http://ppa.launchpad.net trusty/main Translation-en Ign http://ppa.launchpad.net trusty/main Translation-en_GB Hit http://ftp.no.debian.org sid InRelease Hit http://ftp.no.debian.org sid/main Sources/DiffIndex Hit http://ftp.no.debian.org sid/main amd64 Packages/DiffIndex Hit http://ftp.no.debian.org sid/main Translation-en/DiffIndex
Thanks for the report. The problem was elsewhere (cmdline_progress.cc and cmdline_download_progress_display.cc, not src/download_item.cc). Now I added a check to check for TERM=dumb, as well as in previous cases when the output was a file or quite>0 -- in those cases the output would be like in your second example. Marking as +pending, it will be present in the next release. Cheers. -- Manuel A.
